World Squash Federation
Official Release
May 2008 Instant Update
Received June 5, 2008
The WSF, PSA and WISPA are united in making the Three-Referee System mandatory at all major squash events in the future.
The system - featuring a central Referee (who is also the Marker) and two Side Referees (closer to the two side walls) - has been used at many major events over the past year, and has met with universal support from players, referees, and spectators alike.
The WSF will make the Three-Referee System mandatory for all World Championships, while the PSA will now require all matches at Super Series events to use the new system, including all qualifying rounds.
WISPA is phasing in usage of the new system, beginning with multi-sided glass courts, from January 2009.
The Three-Referee System will be used at the Hi-Tec Men's & Women's World Opens, to be held in Manchester in October, and the Women’s World Team Championships in Cairo in December.
